    Description

      When you have multiple users with the same name it's hard to distinguish between them in the user picker. It would be nice to be able to configure one of the user properties to be used as hint (tooltip) in the picker. For instance, inside a company, you could configure the position (custom) user property to be displayed as hint. Of course it should be possible to configure a computed user property so that you can cover most advanced use cases.

      For XWiki Standard I don't think there is any user property that could be displayed as hint by default so I propose to leave this configuration empty by default.
